Ingredients

8–10 lamb chops

250g thick yoghurt

6 garlic cloves, chopped

2-inch piece ginger, peeled and grated

1 lemon, juice only

1 tablespoon malt vinegar

1 tablespoon garam masala

1 tablespoon cumin, toasted and ground

1 tablespoon paprika

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

¼ teaspoon nutmeg

 

Method:

  1. Using a sharp knife, cut a few deep slashes in each lamb chop.
  2. In a large bowl, add the yoghurt, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, vinegar and spices. Mix well.
  3. Add the lamb chops to the bowl or transfer to a large freezer bag, ensuring the chops are well covered in the marinade. Refrigerate overnight, turning once.
  4. Allow the lamb chops to come to room temperature 30 minutes before cooking, and add the oil to the marinade and mix. Season.
  5. Grill or barbecue on a hot grill for about five minutes on each side until cooked to your liking. Allow to rest before serving with Indian spiced potatoes, rice or salad.
